Early angiosperms represent a pivotal chapter in plant evolution, marked by rapid diversification and profound ecological impact during the Early Cretaceous. These flowering plants, distinguished by ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution have long been a central question in plant evolutionary biology.

Flowering plants may have evolved 250 million years ago, more than 100 million years earlier than the oldest fossilised flowers so far found. Today, flowering plants – known as angiosperms – are the ...

Two early-diverging angiosperms, Amborella trichopoda and Aristolochia fimbriata, which lack post-angiosperm WGDs, were selected as key lineages for the analysis. Results revealed only one prominent ...
